Vermont curry with sweet apples and honey. If you have well-ripened kimchi or pickled radish, you can mix it with warm rice and finish a bowl with the kids!

Vermont curry was first introduced by House Foods in Japan in the late 1970s. At that time, various curry products were popular in Japan, and Vermont curry was marketed using a folk remedy that claimed the consumption of apple cider and honey by a doctor named Jarvis from Vermont, USA, would improve health.

Ultimately, the name evoked images of American cuisine and the West, making it feel familiar yet fresh to consumers.

Let me introduce you to an easy-to-make Vermont curry rice recipe.

First, the necessary ingredients are as follows.

  • Potato, carrot, onion, apple (about one of each)
  • Meat (pork, chicken, or beef - if on a diet, use chicken breast, and kids prefer beef)
  • Curry powder
  • Honey (cooking syrup is also okay) 1 tablespoon

The method of making it is very simple.

  1. First, cut the potato, carrot, onion, and apple into bite-sized pieces. Cut the meat into appropriate sizes as well.
  2. In a pot, add oil and first sauté the onion until it becomes transparent. Then add the meat and stir-fry until it is cooked halfway.
  3. Add the potato and carrot and sauté briefly, then pour in water. Add enough water to cover the ingredients.
  4. Bring to a boil over medium heat until the ingredients are cooked. It will take about 15 minutes for the ingredients to become tender.
  5. Reduce the heat and add the curry block to melt. Stir well and simmer for about 3 minutes until it reaches the desired thickness.
  6. When it is sufficiently cooked, add the apple pieces and one tablespoon of honey and simmer for another minute. Do not overcook the apples; a crunchy texture is preferred.
  7. Finally, serve the curry generously over freshly cooked rice, and it's done.

With this simple method, you can enjoy delicious Vermont curry rice at home.
